Nice speech. Too bad he has a reputation for exaggeration

I thought he showed class. It would be best to let it go at that and hope for the best from the rest of the party.

He actually cost me $2. I've bet my co-worker that:

1. He'll whine, and he'll never use a phrase "concede" and/or "congratulate"

2. He'll cite Justice Stevens' "dissenting quote".

He did whine ("I strongly disagree , but I accept"), but he did say "concede", and he did say "God bless his (GWB's) stewardship". So, although I've clearly lost, I do demand a Florida Supreme Court recount....  

I do concede my both bets and I'll actually pay my friend not $2, but $3. He can decide how to spend an extra buck.

Thank you Al Gore for making me lose my bet.

He did better than I would.

I'd said "you've won the battle, but will you win the war?" and then proceed to release my Gesta...uhm, my secretly trained monkeys.
